Tips & Advice

How can you find healthy food options at a restaurant?

There are many ways to find and select healthy food options at restaurants. Many menus will clearly identify healthier options, but most are going to be common-sense decisions. Avoid heavy, fatty, fried, or sugary foods, and maybe ask for creamy sauces and salad dressings to be served on the side. Lighter foods, like salads or vegetable dishes, are typically healthy options (depending on what is in them). Talk to your server for healthy options on or off the menu.

Do all restaurants offer specialty food options, like vegan and gluten free?

No, all restaurants do not offer specialty food options. However, as people become more health conscious, many restaurants adapt their menu to accommodate more requests and healthier choices, like gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options. No place is required to have those options; it’s really a business decision on the restaurant’s part. Know your options before going in to ensure you have the best possible selection and experience.

Is it generally acceptable to make substitutions when ordering?

This is always a tricky situation. Yes, you can usually make substitutions (unless noted otherwise), within reason. If you have food allergies, talk to your server to get clarity on safe menu items, but don’t be that person that takes 20 minutes to order with 50 questions. Want mashed potatoes instead of salad? No sauce or extra sauce? Need gluten-free options? Of course these are reasonable requests, so make those within reason. Some restaurants will accommodate off-menu items, so ask about those, too.

How to select the right restaurant to fit the occasion

To select the right restaurant for your event , start with the occasion and number of guests and a budget. Having 25 guests will eliminate some places right away, while others might even have party rooms available. Or are you looking for a quiet romantic spot to propose (or break up!)? That will eliminate places geared toward kids and families. You can find any and all options by going online. Make sure to plan as far ahead as possible so you can get a reservation. Some places can be very hard to get into, especially if you have a large party or need special accommodations.

How should you make a wine selection?

You can ask your server or sommelier (the staff wine expert) for recommendations. If you want to be fancy, and who doesn’t, you can pair your wine with your meal. Traditionally, lighter wines like roses or chardonnays pair with lighter fare, like fish or vegetable dishes; and darker reds, like cabernet or merlot, pair with heavier dishes like steaks or chops. The truth is that the right wine for you or your meal is the one you like best. Just don’t put ice in your wine glass, that’s just not cool.

What is the proper amount to tip a server at a restaurant?

Traditionally, in the United States, it has been customary to tip 15 percent for good service and 20 percent for really good service. Of course if the service is awful, you have the option of leaving nothing at all. At most restaurants, tipping is not part of your dining obligation and, therefore, you are free to tip whatever amount you like. Some restaurants factor the tip into the actual bill, especially if you have a large party. Tipping isn’t typically done in many other countries, so know the local customs.

What types of service do real estate agents provide?

Agents provide a wide range of services that can help you make a speedy and profitable real estate transaction. Real estate agents can assist sellers with marketing their homes, and this includes things like coordinating open houses and scheduling photography that presents the home in an appealing manner on real estate websites. Agents can assist both buyers and sellers with all aspects of the negotiation process, with the aim of helping to maximize profits on the transaction. Finally, agents can also support both property managers and tenants with property rental.

How long does it take to become a real estate agent?

It's possible to get the licensing you need to become a real estate agent in just a few weeks. Some states require you to take pre-licensing coursework, and this can range from 45-75 hours or more. If you choose to train for licensing at a real estate school, the educational requirements can usually be met in four to six months. Online real estate schools are also available, and these allow students to proceed at their own pace. At an online school, a motivated student can complete the coursework necessary for licensing in a few short weeks.

What is the difference between a real estate agent and a broker?

There are key differences between a real estate agent and a broker. A broker is typically an owner of a firm or franchise, and these professionals handle such tasks as setting up earnest-money accounts and approving final contracts. Agents are employed by brokers, and they split their commissions with these professionals. Relative to agents, brokers typically have to deal with more exams and a larger course load to obtain licensing.

How can someone become a real estate agent?

To become a real estate agent, you'll need to prepare for and pass a licensing exam. Pre-license education hours may be required, and the exact amount varies from state to state. Once you've passed the exam, the next step is to connect with a real estate broker. Agents act on behalf of a broker, and are not allowed to handle real estate transactions independently. The broker will assist in completing the final paperwork that will allow you to manage real estate transactions in your state. Some states require a broker to sponsor an agent prior to the agent's licensing exam.

I had a great experience with United Country Realty Pioneers. I had some property that I listed and I sold it fairly quickly with Micki. I'd say the whole process took a month and it was very, very fast results.
